ya, NASA’s jet propulsion lab came out with this in the 70’s. It just makes the gas burn cleaner. It’s been used in trucks for years. Costs like 2K a unit. I’d like to know what is so special about these guys though. Seems like they are just re-patenting the same technology that has been around for decades. That video is very misleading. The cars aren’t going to run off of just water. So that guy seems like a con and FoxNews got duped.

I really don’t understand why people are just now hearing about this. A buddy of mine has been doing this for years with a homemade device. As for the wired article ” The HFI units are relatively small and cost between $4,000 and $14,000, depending on the size of the vehicle.” That kind of shocks me because as far as I know it’s just electrolysis. From what I gather, that small box is basically 2 needles and some electricity so it’s insanely overpriced. Unless there is some super secret tech that’s using some law of physics I’m not aware of I really don’t understand how these people are charging so much. This is especially true since NASA is the one that came up with the idea.

HHO works. There’s no problem with that. But what isn’t mentioned is that it takes an enormous amount of energy to convert the lower energy H2O molecular arrangement into the higher energy HHO molecular arrangement.

The nature of physics dictates that every time you process some efficiency losses will occur. If you get HHO from H2O, you will have wasted energy in the process.

Just the same as considering hydrogen as a fuel source you must consider the energy cost of manufacuring HHO. Someone somewhere is burning fossil fuels to create the electricity used to convert H2O to HHO.

While you may be able to drive an emissions free HHO vehicle, you have still burned fossil fuels to get access to HHO. Effectively all that has occurred is you have moved the pollution source off the highways; the pollution will still occur and the wind will still carry it into the atmosphere.

“Effectively all that has occurred is you have moved the pollution source off the highways; the pollution will still occur and the wind will still carry it into the atmosphere.”

This is true if you only have HHO in your gas tank. However they are creating it on demand. In their setup you are not relocating the pollution. Also it CAN increase efficiency but it depends on the situation.

Democracy is utterly dependent upon an electorate that is accurately informed. In promoting climate change denial (and often denying their responsibility for doing so) industry has done more than endanger the environment. It has undermined democracy.

There is a vast difference between putting forth a point of view, honestly held, and intentionally sowing the seeds of confusion. Free speech does not include the right to deceive. Deception is not a point of view. And the right to disagree does not include a right to intentionally subvert the public awareness.
